Japanese banana ban not bananas

The Japanese government has acted swiftly, in response to the radiation hot spot detected in Tokyo, by banning banana imports, which they have also reclassified as a class A drug for good measure.

“Bananas are a natural source of radioactive isotopes” states Makoto Takumi, Minister for Internal Affairs “and we take our wesponsibilities wery seriously”.

“Do you wealise that 500million bananas is the equivalent of standing for ten minutes next to the Chernobyl reactor core after explosion and meltdown” he continued, “those Wuskies might be careless with their nuclear programme, but we are not”.
